The Swiss had to travel 3500km for this game. But more concerning would be their finishing. They will not get so many chances like they had against Wales, so hopefully they will be more clinical.
Indeed, and will have to do the same again in order to play their third game. Not very lucky (or fair), that…
Anyway, I doubt that it will make a lot of difference. Italy are strong atm, while Switzerland are very ordinary overall. They couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn door even if their lives depended upon it and also, Schär is a complete liability at the back these days. 4-0.
A car-bomb has been disarmed by Italian police outside the stadium in Roma !!!
Or at Piazza Mancini, which is quite close to the stadium they say.

Has there ever been a time when Giorgio Chiellini wasn’t a starting CB for Italy? Turns 37 in August. Must be something in the olives.

I love him as a player. He is a gladiator.

At least they’ll have more fun, surely.

More on the car bomb. It was in the car of politician Marco Doria and contained bolts and gunpowder. Probably an attempted mafia assassination then I suppose.
Italy will probably bang in 6-7 goals

Italy’s hymn is a good one, and the players really enjoyed singing it!

Yawn… Zzzzz 
The ball is sending up rooster tail (it looks wet), was it raining or did Italians just really water the pitch?
